Dear Claudia,

God named Jesus not Joseph..Mary and Joseph were obedient to God's directions concerning the birth of His Son and named Him as they were instructed by the angel of the Lord named Gabriel. Emmanuel means God with us (Matthew 1.24)..which he is. His birth name is Jeshua in Hebrew, Joshua in English, and Jesus in Greek. The name Jesus has been used throughout the centuries. Luke 1.31 should provide documentation to your question. Thanks for writing and God bless.

KC

Emmanuel is Hebrew meaning "God is with us" as was the case when Jesus walked the earth. Joseph was commanded in
the word of God to name Christ the messiah, "Jesus"
